better pci hehehe..but the fan looks cool..maybe can use more smaller to put there..40mm??

i have a 50mm fan which is ridiculously loud (and moves hell of alot of air) at 12v. mebbe can try at 5v.

yeah most likely will be going for the PCI adapter.

eh, how u guys route ur cables till so nice ah?
mine don't even have space to route it nicely..

is it the psu or case? or need skill

hahha skill the best bro

skill and some imagination as well....

so u can plan how to place ur hardwares and then how to route ur cables

hmm .. if got space no problem loh ..

Personally I prefer inside for a better finishing looks instead of a big device lying outside ...

but too bad .. I'm not having enough space so using USB type as well now .

i agree on imagination. last time i sit infront the case for 3-5hours just wanna choose which cable suits to small area etc.

skill?? spent time on google then u can get what i mean

also depends on PSU..some psu got short cable and u no idea how to manage it.

edit: the wifi adapter pci cheapo than USB?? price range??

I think it mostly depend on the brand and the quality of the receiver loh ..

how u guys think of muskin 550watt modular PSU?? anybody using it for their SFF here?

before i use xigma, i plan to buy this coz price ok2 for me..

isn't that pci-wifi card also got 5cm antenna protrudes out from the back of pci slot?

both bout the same price'
afaik, dlink got many models on pci-wifi.. very confusing on the model numbers
some are old model.. supporting only a/b ,
while new ones, a/b/g , or even n?

i just bought a belking wifi-G PCI card for RM99

not much choices here for PCI card...

only got Prolink D-Link and Belkin...Belkin was the most expensive 1...

maybe install tonight or tomorrow

install NOW pls..wanna see how its look on sff

ok....took pix.....but i forgot to take pix of the card installed in the case...was too excited to get it working that i totally forgot



i added a heatsink which i bought from uglyvamp years ago (but never used) on the main chip to make sure the card remains cool.... heatsink is stuck on with 3M Thermal Tape....the card is located right below the PSU's 120mm fan so theres always airflow in that area...



sadly the card took the 2nd last PCI slot... so i couldnt fit a 50mm fan... if it took the last slot then mebbe can. i lost my 40mm fan so decided to closeup all the PCI slots.... the PCI slot covers used are Lian Li's mirror finish PCI slot covers


picture from the back with the antenna.....



comparing the Belkin PCI vs the Linksys USB....

the Belkin PCI has MUCH better connectivity.... im getting full bar with the connections... with the Linksys USB im only getting max 70% even though the Linksys is placed higher and slightly closer to the router

but take note that I havent tested with large file transfers...coz i cant. my main rig is using another Linksys USB and i know what its large file transfer rate is like

ive also havent tested with torrents yet....so lepak first...

in terms of heat... oso dunno yet...


basically i didnt test anything...just pasang... make sure everything works...then go to sleep






EDIT: i also did a small mod for the front panel connectors...i think this particular mod should be VERY helpful for us SFF users, especially since we have to remove the mobo from the case if we wanna do anything to it... can check out the mod HERE
